Wydawnictwo BTC
In 2012, I published my first book about Linux for embedded systems – “Linux. Podstawy i aplikacje dla systemow embedded“, as a result of my cooperation with Wydawnictwo BTC. The book is a guide about the hardware (GPIO, I2C, 1-Wire, RS232, etc.) and software (Linux kernel, u-boot bootloader) aspects of using Linux on ARM architecture.

EDUCATION
2008 – 2013
Computer Electronic Systems – Master’s degree
Gdansk University of Technology
Master’s Thesis – Virtual Impedance Meter.
The designed device is compact and easy to use Virtual Impedance Meter allowing to measure impedance in a wide frequency range (from 10 Hz up to 100 kHz). The most important features of the analyzer are small size (4-layer PCB) and low production cost. Thanks to the use of an impedance measurement method based on DSP and AD5933 microsystem (high precision impedance converter system solution that combines an on-board frequency generator with a 12-bit, 1 MSPS, analog-to-digital converter) with complex analog conditioning circuit, the developed instrumentation can be compared to portable analyzers offered by top worldwide manufacturers.

Android Things and Raspberry Pi
Elektronika Praktyczna, Wydawnictwo AVT-Korporacja
Abstract (in Polish): Kompletny artykuł składa się z trzech części poświęconych systemowi Android Things i płytce Raspberry Pi. Pierwsza część cyklu przybliża Czytelnikowi krótką historię systemu a także zawiera opis przygotowania środowiska i pierwszej prostej aplikacji. W kolejnych częściach przedstawiono opis sterowania pracą magistrali I2C, obsługi wyświetlacza OLED SSD1306 i czujnika HTU21 z wykorzystaniem gotowych sterowników sprzętu oraz projekt z wykorzystaniem kamery i funkcji przetwarzania obrazu.

Controlling the Raspberry Pi via the WebSocket protocol
Tanzstunde: Raspberry Pi steuern mit Android
Raspberry Pi Geek – Linux New Media USA, LLC
Linux Magazine – COMPUTEC MEDIA GmbH
Abstract: The various small computers with relatively powerful microprocessors now on the market are attractive to developers, engineers, and makers alike. The processors provide fast and easy access to hardware buses via I2C, 1-Wire, or SPI, allowing users to combine the worlds of software and electronics. Connecting data to the real world – for example, by reading external sensors or controlling actuators – calls for simple and efficient communication between a client and server, as provided by the WebSocket protocol. Basically, this technology is used when you want to realize fast and powerful, bi-directional communication in real time between web applications and clients. In this article, I present two sample projects involving the operation of a Raspberry Pi as a WebSocket server to which a WebSocket client sends asynchronous broadcast messages […]

Jesien Linuksowa / Linux Autumn / 2014 Conference
At the beginning of November 2014, I had the opportunity to give a speech at a “Jesien Linuksowa 2014” conference. “Jesien Linuksowa” (Linux Autumn) is a “[…] social-scientific meeting for enthusiasts of the Free Software and the GNU/Linux that is organized by the management board of the Polish Linux Users Group”. It was also the first opportunity to present new (pre-release) version of my application – “Raspberry Control 2.0“.

Monitoring of a bathing person
Journal of Medical Imaging and Health Informatics
Abstract: Ageing of the population in developed countries is a major problem and a challenge not only from a social or an economic point of view, but it is also a challenge for engineers, as in the near future there maybe a lack of personnel to take care of the elderly. […] We analyze possibility of bathing person presence by means of impedance spectroscopy. We study optimal electrode configuration for detection of the person in the bathtub and influence of bathing water ingredients (salts, shampoo, soap) on the detectability. Finally we are interested in estimation of person’s activity during the bath process by means of impedance measurements. We have designed prototype of such embedded system and showing results of primary measurements […]

Detection of person presence and its activity in the bathtub
XV International Conference on Electrical Bio-Impedance (ICEBI)
XIV Conference on Electrical Impedance Tomography 2013 (EIT)
Abstract: A practical application of a bioimpedance technique for a detection of a bathing person is presented in the paper. It addresses the possibility of supervising people in the bathtub without voiding of their intimacy. The measurement system installed in a fiber-glass or a plastic bathtub is able to detect a presence of the bathing person, to estimate its activity and thus to detect potentially dangerous events. In the paper a principle of measurement, working prototype and measurements are presented. The proposed method can be useful for supporting and supervising bathing of elders, partially disabled or people with some health state risk during the bath and living alone.
